Dr. Jackson concluded I his remarks with a brief outline of the I vocational diseases bill, ■which is be ing thoroughly investigated for pro- Iposal. This bill, he stated, is for the i protection of workingmen who may j have contracted a permanent disease through their employment. The Resolution Committee submit ted resolutions, the most important of which paid high tribute to Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh. A resolution recommending that the present card carried by union carpenters in the [ State of Pennsylvania be discarded and | that a universal card be issued caused i considerable comment. Parts of the i resolution conflicted with the general j state constitution and after a lengthy I and heated discussion it was referred to the committee for revision. The convention adjourned at 12 o'clock, to convene this afternoon, when officers will be elected and a meeting place selected for next year. The Resolutions | The resolutions paying tribute to the ! Governor is as follows: ! Whereas, His Excellency. Martin G. i Brumbaugh, Governor of Pennsylva | nla, has proved by his official conduct • and every act and utterance, to be the j best friend that the working men, women and children of this State have I ever had in public office. At no time j has he faltered in his efforts to better the conditions of all the workers of this State and at the same time do Justice to the employer. This has been amply demonstrated by the passage, largely through his personal efforts, of the best Child Labor Law which Is on the statute books of any State in the i EUnion, and the Workmen's Compen sation Act which has brought splendid i results to the injured workers of this State and their dependents, and his | veto of the Full Crew Repealer in the face of the organized opposition of some of the big interests of the State. "Whereas, Governor Brumbaugh's ! unswerving devotion to tlie best inter i ests of the great masses of the work ! ing men, women and children of this State has resulted in a campaign of ! calumny, inspired by discredited po ■ litlcal leaders, who were unable to keep their promises to deliver him to some selfish employers; be it "Resolved. That we, the Pennsylva nia State Council of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, representing 35,000 workers in this State, and their families, do hereby express our unbounded confidence in Governor Brumbaugh. We know him to be a man of the highest official, j>o litical and personal integrity; we stand loyally by him and declare that at no time in its history has this State had a Governor who has had the force of character, the far-seeing vision, and i the forceful energy to perfect such a splendid program of legislation for the workers of this State. All this hasi been done with full pustice to em-| ployers. "Resolved, That we urge upon ev ery worker of this Sto.te and every body of organized labor to rally to the support of the Governor at this time, and to make it plain to his po litical enemies and detractors that the wage-earners of this State as a body, and that all right-thinking men and women of this State are standing back of him and will not countenance any further efforts to belittle or besmirch him. "Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Governor Brum baugh and to the newspapers of the State for general publication.. "Daniel A.

PEZZIMENTI CASE CAUSES SPLIT [Continued From First Page] j bers of the pardon board, which in cludes Secretary of the Commonwealth i (Woods and Secretary of Internal Af fairs Houck in addition to Mr. Mc- Clain and Mr. Brown, publicly an nounced themselves to be at logger heads. After reciting the reason for Pizzi menti's being in prison, Lieutenant Governor McClain said: Take Opposite Sides "His liberty had been placed in his own hands, he knew or its conditions and it was his own act that sent him back to prison. I. for one, am in favor of keeping him there." At this point Attorney General j Brown rather heatedly broke in: "To make my position clear I want 1 to say right here that I think he should I be released." I Mr. Woods nodded his approval to I one or the other in tlie quick firing | argument so rapidly that it was im i possible to determine which side of | the question he took. He refrained j from saying anything as did Mr. I Houck. Warden McKenty, of the Peniten tiary, appeared before the board and declared that Pizzimenti would have been released on parole eight months ago had it not been for a legal tech nicality. The board of prison inspec tors, he said, was greatly in favor of Ills release but could not effect it under the law. Wanted His Picture "When the strike began," said Mr. j McKenty, "the Pennsylvania Railroad i wrote to me and asked me for Pizzi i menti's picture. This I refused to give j as he had not committed a crime while jon parole. I learned later that the I company wanted it to show to new po i licemen." From Attorney Carroll's view of the! case Pizzimenti was arrested for tres passing on the railroad and interfering with employes. He served four months waiting for trial and six months for trespassing. This term was enough to send him back to the penitentiary as a violator of parole. District Attorney Stroup opposed the appeal on the ground that Pizzi menti had previously been granted a pardon. He reviewed the law which makes it Impossible for the prison • board to parole a convict a second time and asked that the board favor an act of the Legislature to cover the point rather than give Pizzimenti his freedom. Medical KUiics in Balance Medical othlcsfi Uie board heard earlier in the day, is the reason why John Nelson is under sentence of death in Wyoming county. The charge was made before Governor Brum baugh and later before members of the board that J. N. Sickler, of Mill City, died not from Nelson's stab wounds, but from malpractice on the part of the physicians who attended him. Dr. Charles E. Thompson, who made the charge, refused to appear before the board. H. a Harding, counsel for Nelson, declared that the physician had already lost much fin ancially because of making the infor mation and that he thought he had already done his duty. Thompson's charges were refuted by E. B. Farr, district attorney, who tried the case. Nelson's respite came from Gover nor Brumbaugh almost on the eve of his electrocution when Dr. Thompson told Governor Brumbaugh and Attor ney General Brown that the physician who dressed Sickler's wounds had done the job so badly that part of the wounded man's intestines protruded and that death resulted from their drying against the bandages. Would Not Testify Medical ethics prevented him from tesUfying to this point at the trial, he said. Attorney Harding informed the board this morning that Dr. Thompson had told him that ho did not go into the courtroom with liis story because ho had hopes that at the last minute something else would turn up that would keep Nelson from conviction on the first degree charge. "He hesitated and hesitated," said Mr. Harding, "until at the last minute ho went to the Governor. It was a matter of conscience with him." Members of the board intimated that they were doubtful as to the truth of Thompson's story. Thomp son's failure to appear before the board added to this, they said. The question, according to Mr. Brown's view, really is a controversy between doctors. "And when doctors dis agree," said he, "who is to decide?" I District Attorney Farr intimated I that Thompson had some reason for making the charge.

American Line Abandons Intention of Sailing Ships By Associated Press New York, Feb. 21.—Shippers who j had hoped to send goods to Europe by i the big steamships of tlie American j Line sailing from this port received definite assurance to-day that the company had no immediate intention of sending out its vessels. This infor mation was derived from a notice that the owners intended to discharge car goes in the hold of the steamship St. Eouis, which has been lying here loaded since the beginning of the new submarine warfare. The greater part of the crews of the St. Louis of the three other Amer ican liners. New York, St. Paul and Kroonland, have been paid off. la borers to-day began removing perish able shipments in the St. Louis' cargo. "Our position in the matter has not i changed at all since the sailing of the American liners has been indefinitely postponed," said President Franklin, I of the International Mercantile Ma rine.

"Well, I could answer that, but I prefer not to," was the reply. Harding denied this allegation, say ing that Thompson's reputation is good and that he is a friend of the physician accused of malpractice. Nelson was said to be insane. He stabbed Stickler without reason the day after he arrived In Wyoming county. H. E.

FEBRUARY 21, 1917. 1 REFORM JURY COMMIS SIONER UNDER FIRE [Continued Front First Page] meetings since that date, entirely dis regarding the request of the county of ficials. Taylor, in his sworn statement of work in supplying partj of the names to go in the jury wheel, reported that he worked eighty days, for which he was paid J320, —at the rate of $4 a day, as allowed by law. Since his report has been submitted, investigations show that on two days for which he charged for supplying names, he drew juries for court ses sions in 1916, receiving $8 in payment. This is an overcharge. County Commis sioners Henry M. Stlne, H. V. Wells, and C. C. Cumbler claim. Ank Taylor to Appear Immediately after the discovery, Tay lor's report was gone over carefully again, resulting in a request that he should appear before the Commission ers to explain the report in full. Taylor was the local candidate on ,the Democratic ticket for Jury commis sioner, nominated and elected by the Democratic machine. As Jury Commissioner each year he Is required to supply about 300 names to be put In tho jury wheel, so that they can be drawn for service the next year. Edward Dapp, the other commis sioner, also furnishes 300 names, and President Judge George Ivunkel the same number. The law requires vhat each day the jury commissioner Is at work picking names for the wheel, he shall be paid ?4, regardless of the number of nafvS furnished on that particular day. Taylor's report, sworn to before Pro thonotary Henry F. Ilollei - , shows that on each of twenty-three of the days for which he was paid ?it2, he turned in only one name; on each of ton dys, two names; and on each of six days, three names. The remainder of the time, the number supplied ranged from four to fourteen. One of the questions puzzling county officials is why Taylor only turned In a bill for fifty days' work for filling the wheel In 1915, costing the county $200; while last year the bill was $320. Didn't Get the Monry County Solicitor Philip 8. Moyer will be consulted, and it is probable that when Taylor does appear before the commissioners he will be represented by counsl. Although Taylor claimed in a letter to a local newspaper that he had paid back the >8 overcharged, County Com missioners and County Treasurer Mark Mumma 11 claim they have not re ceived the money.
